Bharti Airtel drags Reliance Jio to CCI

Bharti Airtel has approached the Competition Commission of India accusing Reliance Jio Infocomm of predatory pricing and indulging in an anti-competitive behaviour. Last year, Jio Infocomm had moved the CCI accusing Vodafone, Idea and Bharti alleging that they were ´abusing their dominant market power´ and formed a cartel of sorts and were denying it the requisite number of points of interconnect, which was inconveniencing its customers.

Bharti has said that the company, through Reliance Industries, has created a pan-India telecom network and distribution infrastructure even before its commercial launch.
